    At its ideal power efficiency (65W), remember this and the 5600 are pretty much the same, single and multi-core. The 8-core pulls ahead in multi-core only when given more juice, which probably isn't worth it for many users.

    Zen 4 (7000 series) shows this even more. The first Zen 4 CPUs defaulted to insane power limits, and got (falsely) derided as too hot (by outlets that give a pass to Intel CPUs running vastly hotter again). The second batch of Zen 4 chips were EXACTLY the same, except they default to a lower power limit- a bit slower and a LOT cooler.

    With AMD you must think about the power limit, so you do not pay more than you need for the performance you are going to accept when you set your preference for a power limit. AND, of course, lower power limits work fine with cheaper cooling solutions.

    Stop making sense, I'm finding it difficult to disagree with you on anything these days!

    This is not a mega super deal, it's been at this kind of price for a while. Still, this CPU offers TONS of power for the pound.

    Even so, if you want something faster than the excellent 3600 deal that was just posted, this is really the next step for productivity and content creation. X3D for gaming is a whole jump further in price, then it goes up from there for 12 cores +.

    5700x gets my recommendation as the current all-rounder CPU on AM4, but it should be £149. (edited)

    What's the equivalent AM5 bang for buck?
  3. ondert's avatar
    This has been the same price for quite some time.

    Not according to the camel camel chart

    Is it worth the upgrade from a 4500?
    The.Fat.Cat's avatar
    Depends what you are using it for.
    For the most part, yes.

    If you're not in urgent need of the upgrade, just spend time putting more money into an AM5 build some time in the future. (edited)

    The 5700x is around £126 on Aliexpress.

    Also the 5600 is around £84 on Ali.

    I was expecting the PRICE gap between 8-core 5700x and 6-core 5600 to drop by now in August, but still not moving much or lower since a couple of months ago....

    Are the chips on Aliexpress legit?
  6. Ethan_Cummins's avatar
    Aliexpress doesn’t include VAT until you checkout. i bought my 5700x from there and works great, but only saved like a tenner at the time

    My lad has a 5600x and is looking for an upgrade. Did look at this which gives a 20% upgrade in performance or a 5900x which is nearly 100% - thoughts??

    I will be buying his 5600x off him to fit in his younger brother’s who has a 3600 (edited)
    fishmaster's avatar
    5900X and 5950X are entirely pointless for gaming, because the additional core count won't be used effectively. The absolute best CPU for gaming on AM4 is the 5800X3D and coupled with any GPU it's as good for gaming as anything on AM5 and LGA1700. So the ONLY upgrade option that makes any sense for your son in terms of CPU is the 5800X3D. (edited)
  8. Al3xander's avatar
    That is a lot of power for not much money. Plus, boards to support these chips can be found quite cheap.

    Bargain for somebody looking for a mid-range PC. (edited)

    Price matched on currys, used bluelight for gift card saving approx 5% off price. Also had bank exchange gift cards via natwest so only paid 91 odd pound (edited)

    Great CPU - worth every penny, if you have a good GPU. I paid £165 in February so I'd expect it would have fallen a little lower by now (in case people don't know, CamelCamelCamel can no longer track deal prices so it is much less accurate than it used to be).

    Bear in mind that if you have a GPU like RX5700XT or RX6600 or RTX2060, you will see little benefit in games from upgrading from earlier Ryzen generations:

    I am in this exact situation - currently have a 2600 and a RTX 2060
    Do you imply that the benefit of switching to a 5700X (or 5600X, if you have an opinion as well!) would be minimal?
    Should I wait a year or two to actually revamp the whole setup?

    So the cpu is determining the fps here?
    MrAwesome21's avatar
    Yes. It’s a bottleneck as you can see the frames go up with more premium cpus
  12. BarneyRubble's avatar
    Definitely needs to be cheaper now 7000 series has been out for a while
    sasuke0's avatar
    That's a whole new socket though
